DIWA

Water is essential for good quality of life, and its integrated and sustainable management is the only way to secure water for people and ecosystems. DIWA aims to become a top-tier water research cluster and innovation ecosystem that generates high-impact research outputs, input to policy development and innovations facilitating the next industrial water revolution. DIWA forms, faciliates and fosters a new generation of the water sector. DIWA enables a transition towards the digital representation of real-world water systems (Digital Twin) to reproduce hydrological storages, their states, fluxes and processes, as well as ecosystem responses with novel options for improved scenario analysis, planning and governance. DIWA solutions are urgently needed as water is a critical natural resource globally, nurturing a diversity of social and economic activities and having multi-billion business potential. To form the DIWA ecosystem, we include 276 collaborators at the application phase.
